What Chickens Have to do With Yarn Shopping....

Here I am with out any yarn. Well, I should say with out any yarn I want to use right now. I have been on a wash cloth tangent and now I'm out of cotton yarn. With the Shaniko Wool Gathering and my urge to make wash cloths for Days For Girls, I decided that I needed to see what kind of deals I could find on the internet. Heck who doesn't love computer shopping in your pjs?

I just had to let Tori in on my hunt, mainly cause you always need a good shopping partner!! As I head on over to some of my favorite retail spots to see if what I needed was on sale, Tori kinda followed, as well as Tori follows.  Nothing I wanted was on sale and while I started whining about it, Tori took off. Where to? None other than Ebay!! This always provides hours of quality entertainment. This is where it gets good.. We found a few deals that just might have to happen and then the chickens start showing up. Chickens you say, well yes chickens!

Interjection: I swear, the crazy critter stuff just finds us. It doesn't matter what we are looking for, they just pop up. This time, I was only searching for yarn. One time... while I was doing a search for squirrels (yes, I have to admit I was looking for squirrels on Pinterest), I found a ring on etsy that was priceless! So I purchased it and had it directly shipped to Danielle, complete with gift wrap. The squirrel ring drove her nuts for hours. She called me, wondering who sent it to her. She told me I was the only one crazy enough to send her a golden squirrel ring. It was so entertaining, I couldn't stop laughing. After several phone calls and lots of who? why? and how? I finally confessed. There's always lots of good options. I'm really thinking that someone needs a chicken, though...





I have to say I love her chickens! There where some other chickens that just didn't compare, trust us, we looked! So check her out if you are in the market for a killer chicken pot holder  http://stores.ebay.com/Lindas-Special-Occasions. Heck even her fruit guys are pretty cool, I dig the lime. He is a bit cross eyed and looks like he has been hitting the drink a bit hard, that could be why I find him so cool.

I will spare you all the hundreds of links to the creepy hairy yarn that looks kinda like shaved alley cats. Heck there was even a few skeins of yarn that came with a bag of really creepy clown like heads...

Oh the joys of Ebay, a twisted sense of humor and yarn shopping... see what you miss out on behind the scenes? It's knot quite right...
